Scene: Upper Realm – Divine Farmstead Realm
Li Yuan sat beneath the glowing branches of the newly planted Primordial Starfruit Tree, its roots humming with divine rhythm. The realm had changed again. What was once a barren void now pulsed with golden mist, spirit dew raining lightly across fertile soil. His manor had expanded with sacred formations and spiritual veins he laid with his own hands.
The System pinged softly.
[Mission Complete: Purge Grove Level 3 – +1 Divine Tree Seed (Ancient Wisdom Palm)]
[New Mission: Construct Formation – "Heaven's Veil Dome"]
[System Upgrade Progress: 86%]
A cheeky voice chimed from nowhere.
System (in upgraded voice): "Hey boss, another flawless mission. You sure you're not cheating with some secret protagonist plot armor? Heh."
Li Yuan didn't reply. His gaze fell on the horizon where his realm brushed the edge of unseen worlds. "Not cheating. Just farming," he muttered.
Scene Cut: Mortal Realm – Hidden Farmer Village
Back in the mortal world, the seven disciples of the Farmer God stood before a growing crowd of cultivators. Enemies had descended—sects that once ignored the village now returned with greed in their eyes. Rumors of The Farmer's Disciples had spread, and so had stories of miraculous medicine, powerful formations, and relic-forged tools.
But Li Yuan's command had been clear: "You can handle it."
And they did.
Zhao Fei (Swordsman Disciple): Now 22, cloaked in storm-blue robes, drew his glowing blade made from the plow handle of the old Li Yuan farm. "He gave us strength. We will use it."
Ling Xue (Divine Doctor): Calm and radiant, held a syringe made of crystalized spirit jade. "Healing or harm. The path he taught us depends on the choice of those who stand against us."
The enemy attacked.
The disciples responded.
Lightning met fire. Wind clashed with poison. And amid it all, the villagers watched their defenders transform into legends.
Scene Cut: Upper Realm – Li Yuan's Manor
Li Yuan sipped tea. The divine pets—now half-humanoid spirit beast servants—moved about the yard planting seeds and plucking fruits. A newly summoned puppet butler bowed.
Butler Mu (Puppet): "My lord, should we observe the mortal realm battle?"
Li Yuan shook his head. "No need. They're ready. If they weren't, I wouldn't have let them call me Master."
